Got a question about your pet that doesn't need a vet visit? Ask Pip, the AI pet care assistant, about feeding, training, grooming, toys and daily routines for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish and other pets. You get a clear answer and a few practical tips, and anything about health is pointed to your vet.
1. Say what pet you have, and its age or size if it matters. 2. Ask your question in plain words, like how much to feed or how to stop scratching. 3. Read the short answer and the practical tips. 4. Ask a follow-up, or ask about another pet in your home.
Feeding routines and safe or unsafe foods, house training and litter boxes, reward-based training, grooming and nail care, toys and enrichment, cage, tank and hutch setup, travel and moving house, introducing a new pet, and checklists before you bring a pet home.
The assistant does not diagnose, name medicines or give doses. For symptoms, injuries or sudden changes in behaviour it explains what to watch for and tells you to check with your vet. If your pet may have eaten something toxic, is struggling to breathe, has collapsed or had a seizure, call your vet or an emergency vet clinic straight away.
Training tips use rewards and patience, never punishment, shock or prong collars. The assistant does not recommend brands or shops, and it only talks about pets and their care.
What is an AI pet care assistant?
A chat where you ask everyday questions about looking after a pet, such as feeding, training and grooming, and get a friendly answer with practical tips.
Is the pet care chat free?
Yes, you can ask pet care questions for free. Chats are paced, so very heavy use in a short time can mean a short wait.
Can the AI replace my vet?
No. It is not a vet and does not diagnose, name medicines or give doses. For health questions it tells you what to watch for and to check with your vet.
Which pets does it know about?
Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, turtles, lizards and other common pets. Tell it the species and age for a better answer.
What should I do if my pet ate something toxic?
Call your vet or an emergency vet clinic now. Do not wait for symptoms and do not try to make your pet sick at home unless a vet tells you to.
Does it give training tips?
Yes. It suggests reward-based training for things like loose-lead walking, toilet training, chewing and scratching, step by step and kind to your pet.
